Lord Robert Cresthaven took one look at the stunning Miss Clarissa Townsend and knew that she was destined to be his wife. The fact she doesn't see her own self-worth makes him want to show her exactly how desirable she is. When they're caught in a compromising position, things don't go according to plan and his beautiful Clarissa is locked away.

Clarissa may not have fought for anything in her life, but she refuses to be sold to Madame Giselle or the disgusting Mr. Peterson. Just because she's crippled, and now ruined, doesn't mean that she can't have the husband and family she's always dreamt of. Escaping her family was easy enough, but convincing Lord Cresthaven that she loves him might be the hardest thing she'll ever have to do. Because kissing Lord Cresthaven was the most wonderful thing she'd ever experienced, and Clarissa wants so much more from the handsome lord.
